What: 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship
Where: United States (Chicago, Illinois; Kansas City, Kansas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Washington, D.C.) - Philadelphia hosts the semi's and final
When: October 15 - 26, 2014
Competing: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, United States
More: As a qualifier to the 2015 Women's World Cup, the top three finishers will earn a berth. The fourth-place team will playoff for a berth against Ecuador, the third-ranked South American team, for a further berth.
Fun Fact: Now held every four years, the event has had multiple names since its start in 1991: Women's Championship, Women's Gold Cup, and Women's World Cup Qualifying. Although now called 'Championship' again, its importance is still largely seen as the qualifiers for the World Cup, strongly evidenced by defending champion Canada declining participation, as they are World Cup hosts and already qualified.
